10 Things The Kids On Full House Got Away With
Who doesn’t love kids? And who doesn’t love a good sitcom? There were an awful lot of kids running around on the show Full House, and where there are kids, there’s bound to be some trouble.
The Full House kids seemed to get into plenty of sticky situations and make a lot of bad choices – remember when Stephanie let Kimmy pierce her ears? While they had their share of punishments handed to them, there were quite a few times when there was no parenting and zero consequences to their actions. Here are ten things the brats – uhh, we mean children – did on Full House that we would have never gotten away with as kids.
Reading DJ’s Diary
If you knew how to write before the internet and had some life drama as a teen, chances are you had a diary. DJ was known to keep a diary, and Stephanie just loved reading it. There never seemed to be a punishment for her though, even when the adults found out. Joey even helps her fix the diary when she breaks it in “Bye Bye Birdie.” DJ has a talk with her, but Stephanie still continues with her bad habit. When Michelle gets older, she joins in on the journal snooping, and the two become an unstoppable team. Poor DJ has no privacy.
Stealing
While at the mall in the episode, “Little Shop of Sweaters,” Stephanie learns about the credit system in which you can buy something now and pay for it later. She decides to take a sweater for DJ, not realizing that without a credit card, she’s actually shoplifting.
Running Away
Michelle runs away from home in “The Devil Made Me Do It,” after a fight with Uncle Jesse. There are no consequences for this, and she runs away again in two episodes of season six, “The House Meets The Mouse” Parts 1 and 2. At Disney World, Michelle is a princess for the day and gets three wishes. After running away from her sisters, she wishes for a tea party. Dad shows up, thankful he found her. Does he yell at her and immediately take her back to the hotel? Nope. The party continues, as does the rest of the day in the Magic Kingdom. Stephanie points out to Pinocchio that there is no justice in this, and we couldn’t agree more.
Being Little Terrors
The three girls weren’t the only kids to misbehave on Full House. In “Tough Love,” we see Nicky and Alex demonstrate that they can be a couple of little menaces when they destroy Michelle’s planet diorama. Becky and Jesse decide that they need to start parenting better next time. The boys go to timeout without dessert after fooling around at the table, but then Jesse tries to sneak ice cream to them! They probably didn’t even realize they were in timeout because they just played with their toys for a few minutes. That hardly counts as a punishment.
Pigging Out
Speaking of dessert, Uncle Jesse brings home several chocolate cake samples in “Shape Up,” so that he and Becky can pick a flavor for their wedding cake. Michelle is ready to eat it all, but Danny tells her to be polite.
Being Smart Alecks
There are words that are clearly bad words (we won’t mention any here), and then there are words that aren’t terrible but are just rather rude. Michelle’s famous “Duhhh,” was said far too often for a four-year-old, and Stephanie’s sarcastic, “Well, pin a rose on your nose,” was quite annoying whenever someone did something that she didn’t think was that special. Don’t forget every other time the girls back-talked to their authority figures, like when Michelle tried to be “bad to the bone” in season 8’s “Claire and Present Danger.” Her dad says they’re going to talk about her behavior, and she responds with a bold, “Maybe we will, maybe we won’t.” Danny just narrows his eyes.
